' 3 Claims. (01. 2-73) This invention relates to a new and improved slip.

Its principal object is to provide a'slip having improved forms of bodice and skirt sections, portions of one extending into the other; and so constructedand connected as'toproduce a-slip having the following features and characteris tics: r

(a') it has a slenderizing effect;

lb) it isneat and streamlined in appearance;

(0). it will not rid-eor'hike-up on-the body of the wearer;

(d) it has superior bust supporting qualities; '(e) tearing is considerably minimized by the removal: of tension at critical points;

If) ithasless parts, and is thereby economical to manufacture;

.(y) it is "form-fitting, hugging the body and responding to the movements-of the wearer; and

'(h) it :will adjust itself .to the wearers body, irrespectiveof: the differences in configuration of the particular body. of the-wearer and the height of the wearer.

Other objects of the invention willbe set forth in the following descriptionand annexed drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments thereof.

.In the drawings Fignl is'a front elevational-view of a slip embodying the-invention;' i r 'Eig..2'is a side elevational view thereof;

Fig. 3 isa plan view of the blanks for forming theifr'ont of the slip shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 4is a partial enlarged "sectional view on the line "4.4 of Fig.2;

Fig. 5iis aisectional view on the line 55 of Fig. 4;

Fig. 6 is a plan view-of the blank "for forming one :breastinsert section; "and I ig.'7.:is a.plan view, similar to' Fig. 6, showing" a further stage in the formation of the said breast insert section.

Referring toiF'igs. 1-3 of the'drawings, the improved garment' comprises the'front panels I 0 and II; :the 'side inserts I2 and-I3; and therear panel l4; connected together-to forin the "bodice B and the depending skirt S, as willhereinafter be more fully" described;

iFrontipanels' I0 and I I are cut-on the straight, both being of identical configuration-andextend from the hem Hof the garment to the top thereof. The adjacent longitudinal edges Illa and Ila respectively of said panels are connected to each otherby the'longitudinal' stitches I5, the said line of stitching extending from hem H to thetop of the median'line-L o'f-the'garment.

'Each of said front panelsl'll and II has an integral upper ex-tension BRand BL respectively, which, together with the upper portions of side inserts I2 and I3 form the front of the bodice section B. The upper edges I02) and I00, and Ho and Ilc, respectively, of each of said extensions BR and BL are upwardly inclined towards each other, imparting a double invertedV-shaped appearance to the top of the garment.

As shown in Fig. 3, front panels I 0 and I I'haveouter side edges of identical configuration, namely a lowermost slightly inclined portion ltd and Ild, respectively; an inwardly inclined angular spectively extending respectively from point A4 to point A5, and point B4 to point B5; and an arcuate upper portion I 01' and I I2, respectively, extending from point A5 to point Ali, and point B5 to point B6, respectively. It will be noted that side edges I'Ilg and IOh, and I I g and 'I Ih respectively, are upwardly inclined towards each other forming the triangular notches N and NN respectively therebetween.

As clearly shown in Fig.3, each side insert 12 and I3 is of identical configuration, both being cut on the bias. Each said insert has respectively longitudinal outer side edges IM and I3a, extending upwardly respectively from apex C I to-p0int'C5, and from apex DI to point D5; up-

I; wardly inclined inner side edges I2band I31), ex-

tending upwardly respectively from apex C I to point C2, and from apex DI to point D2; slightly inclined inner side edges I20 and I30, extending upwardly" respectively from uppermost point C2 to point C3 and from uppermost point D2 to Before describing the stitching of front panels'lllandll to side inserts l2 and I3 to form the front of the slip, the following should be 1 noted:

Edges I2b'an'd I3b of'side inserts I2 andI3 are respectively of the same length'and angularity-as edges'llle and He of'front'p'anels Illand II.

Edges-lie and I 30 of side inserts I2 and I3 are respectively of the same length and inclination asedges Ill) and II of front panels In and II.

Arcuate edges I 2d and I 3d of side inserts I2 and l3 are respectively-of the same length as arcuate edges I02 and Hi of front panels Ill and.

garment is formed 3 bodice seam X. Point A5 will thus coincide with point A3. Similarly, edges Hg and Nb of front panel H are stitched to each other on the back face of said panel to form the upwardly extending angular bodice seam Y. Point B5 will thus coincide with point B3.

A dart E is then formed in the upper extension BR of front panel in, forming the bodice seam El, the said seam extending from upper edge [b downwardly into the said extension. Similarly, a dart F is formed in upper extension BL of front panel ll, forming the bodice seam Fl, the said seam extending from upper edge I lb downwardly into the said extension.

Edges I21), I20, I3band 13c of side inserts l2 and i3 are respectively connected at edges Hie,

in He and Hf of front panels i0 and H by the inclined lines of stitching l6 and I1. Point C! will thus coincide with point Al; point G2 with point A2; point C3 with points A3 and A; point Di with Bl; point D2 with E2; point D3 with points B3 and B5. Edges 12d and 13d of said side inserts i2 and I3 are respectively connected to edges Hit and iii of said front panels [0 and H by the curved lines of stitching l8 and i9. Point C4 will thus coincide with point A6, and similarly point D4 with point B6.

A vertical line of stitching 20 connects lower side edge I id of front panel i l, vertical side edge [3a. of side insert l3 to one of the vertical side edges of rear panel M, at the side of the garment. The opposite side of the garment is similarly finished off. The usual shoulder straps 2| are provided to complete the garment.

If desired, the darts E. and F may be dispensed with. The back of the garment may comprise a single panel or any number of panels. Likewise, front panels In and [I may be integral.

The improved garment is form-fitting by reason of the provision of side inserts I2 and 13. As the said inserts are cut on the bias and front panels i0 and H on the straight, the said front panels exert a pull on the said side inserts. It will be noted that the said inserts extend from a point above hem H in skirt section S right up to the armpit portions of the bodice B of the garment.

If desired, the improved slip may be provided with the breast inserts illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5. These inserts are designated by the reference numerals 40 and M, and are complementary in construction and configuration.

As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, each bust insert panel is made from a substantially annular blank of material M, cut at the top thereof to define the angular adjacent edges 42 and 43 respectively. The said edges are connected to each other by the vertical line of stitching 44. When this is done, a circular opening 50 will be'formed, as shown in Fig. 8. The peripheral edge of said opening has stitched thereto an elasticbinding or narrow tape 5|.

When each said bust insert panel section is formed as shown in Figs. 6 and '7, it is stitched to the rear face of bodice B of the slip by the up-- wardly inclined lines of stitching 45, the curved lines of stitching 46, and the medial vertical line of stitching 41, as explicitly shown in Fig. 4. It will be noted from said Fig. 4 that the said breast insert panels are not stitched at their adjacent portions of their bottom inner edges 48 and 49, that is, those portions that overlie the rear faces of the front panels of the garment.

It will be discerned from Figs. 4 and 5 that '4 two pockets or compartments PI and P2 are respectively formed intermediate the two breast insert panels and the bodice B, access'to the said pockets being through openings 59. Each breast is inserted through each said opening 50, and is snugly held by elastic 5 i.

This application is a division of application Serial No. 199.043, filed December 4, 1950 now Patent No. 2,624,882.

If the improved slip embodies the bust insert construction, the shoulder straps may be dispensed with as the garment can be supported by the snug holding of the breasts by the elastic 5!. It will be noted from Fig. 4 and Fig. 7 that an important part of the bust insert feature is that there are provided a plurality of radially extending folds 52 before elastic 5! is stitched to the peripheral edge of openings 50. This permits the snug holding of the breast and also permits the movement therewith of inserts 40 and 4| towards bodice B. As shown in Fig. 5, pocket Pi is of somewhat conical configuration.

What is claimed is:

1. A slip of the character described comprising a pair of identically shaped front panels, a back panel, and a pair of identically shaped side inserts, the said panels and inserts being connected to each other to form a bodice and depending skirt section, the front panels extending from the lower edge of the skirt section to the top of said bodice, each of the side inserts diverging upwardly from a point spaced above the lower edge of said skirt section to the armpit portions of said bodice, each said insert being connected to the front and back panels at the sides thereof and said front panels having outer side edges inclined upwardly and inwardly from the points of upward divergence of the side inserts to the bodice section.

2. A slip of the character described comprising a pair of identically shaped front panels, a back panel, and a pair of identically shaped side inserts, the said panels and inserts being connected to each other to form a bodice section and a depending skirt section, the front panels extending from the lower edge of the skirt portion to the top of said bodice section and the inner side edges of the front panels being straight and connected together from the lower edge of the skirt portion to the top of said bodice and the outer edges of said front panels being upwardly and inwardly inclined from side points spaced above the lower edge of said skirt section to the bodice section, the upper portions of said outer edges being outwardly curved above said inclined portions, the side inserts diverging upwardly from said lower side points to the armpit portions of the bodice section and having straight outer edges connected to the edges of the back panel and outwardly and upwardly inclined inner edges connected'to the outer edges of the front panels.

3. A slip in accordance with claim '2 in which the bodice section is provided with a pair of 0 Number breast insert and holding sections.
